The primary of the operating again dominoes has fallen. Javonte Williams is staying in Dallas on a three-year deal that assures he would be the beginning operating again originally of the 2026 season. This can be a large win for Williams, however you do not see lots of motion in his Dynasty rating beneath as a result of additionally it is just about what I count on. Williams continues to be a low-end RB2 with high-end RB2 upside. The reality his that Williams’ worth did improve, however he’s on the prime of a tier and nonetheless behind Saquon Barkley and RJ Harvey who’re on the backside of the tier above him. However there are a number of free agent backs round him that might go him in both course within the coming month.
Breece Corridor appears prone to keep in New York with the Jets, as a lot as we’re all hoping he will not. He stays my highest ranked free agent operating again, at RB11, however the thought of him being caught in New York for yet another 12 months doesn’t make that rating as appetizing. He is nonetheless simply 24 years previous and has posted not less than 1,300 yards from scrimmage every of the previous three years, however the Jets’ lack of touchdowns has held down Corridor’s upside. I do not actually count on that to enhance a lot in 2026, but when they may signal a veteran QB who’s extra prepared to dump the ball off to his backs, that may be a assist.
Take a look at my way-too-early have a look at operating again projections for 2026 right here.
Travis Etienne and Kenneth Walker III are the opposite two top-20 Dynasty backs who haven’t got a workforce but. To date all now we have to go on with them is rumors and rumors of rumors. When you consider these, Walker will not be tagged by Seattle and Etienne want to go to Kansas Metropolis. Uncertainty retains these two backs simply behind Williams for now, however touchdown spot may propel both of them in entrance of him. I would even be proud of both of them returning to their former workforce, notably if Zach Charbonnet misses prolonged time in Seattle subsequent 12 months.
Earlier in February I had Dave Kluge from Footballguys on Fantasy Soccer In the present day Dynasty to debate the state of the operating again place in Dynasty. Test it out:
In fact there are lots of different backs who may see wild swings of their worth within the subsequent month. Rico Dowdle, Isiah Pacheco, Rachaad White, Kenneth Gainwell, and Tyler Allgeier are just some of them. Whereas I’m not positive any of them get beginning jobs subsequent 12 months, they may completely torpedo a again that we’re presently hoping will likely be a workhorse.
As for the rookies, I’ve fairly low expectations for this class and will not be including any of them to my Dynasty rankings till after the 2026 NFL Draft. Anticipate Jeremiyah Like to crack my prime seven and do not count on some other rookies to crack my prime 20, barring a shock throughout the draft.
Listed here are my up to date Dynasty operating again rankings:
